Saved By A Beer?
Last night, I was feeling distinctly unwell. My left foot was itching like mad and I couldn’t walk without hanging onto the furniture.
I decided to take serious action.
- I took off my left sock and plastered it with Body Shop Hemp foot protector, which usually stops the itch.
- I also drunk a bottle of 0.5 %-alcohol Ghost Ship from Adnams.
- The beer went down quickly and cured the unsteadiness.
Twenty minutes later my foot was back to normal.
I really should get hold of this unsteadiness, as I’m sure it’s caused a couple of falls and visits to hospital.
It should be noted that yesterday, I’d been drinking tea all day, as I often do.
Is it just that I get dehydrated very quickly?

I have nerve damage i my neck which affects my balance when I stand up quickly – and I can’t ride a bike, not even a spin bike in the gym.
Tea contains caffeine which can cause all sorts of issues – I only drink decaf now, and my migraines stopped.
Perhaps keeping a note of the time of day you have unsteadiness, and what you have had to eat or drink in the previous 12 or so hours.

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Cream also does a good job with aches and pains. It starts working within minutes.

Since the Body Shop has changed the packaging from plastic tubs to aluminium tubes, I’ve rather gone off their products.
I only have one fully-functioning hand as the school bully broke my left humerus. So I’ve managed with one hand for over 60 years.

[…] One thing I noticed was that my left leg was going dead, as I sat on the chair typing. but then that happens regularly. It was similarly to the incident in Saved By A Beer?. […]
